About this album

Published: Sep 11, 2006

The Dreamer's Paradox is the second album by JT Bruce. It shows a strong maturation and development of the style and tone achieved by Anomalous Material, resulting in increased production quality, compositional strength, and diversity. Fans of Anomalous Material will undoubtedly enjoy this release, but the album's depth and scope will also appeal to a much wider audience of varying musical tastes. Backing vocals are featured in one track and spoken words in another.

Being a concept album, the Dreamer's Paradox prominently features recurring musical themes, acting as characters in a musical drama. The evolving and subtle themes interact with one another and are revisited throughout the album's length, creating the progress and mood akin to the telling of a story.

The albums total running time is 74 minutes 22 seconds.

I started using jamendo today, somewhat skeptical that people making free music as a hobby could make anything worthwhile.
Nevertheless, I headed straight for the progressive and metal sections and found your album. I downloaded it, expecting an "ok" album with basement production, but I was blown away! You sound like what would happen if Liquid Tension Experiment had continued and evolved. This album totally gave me hope for free, independent artists and music. Keep up the great work!

Stunning!

The first album I downloaded when I came to this site was Anomalous Materials, JT Bruce's first offering and suffice to say I was blown away!
But I couldn't have imagined the quality and musicianship present on the second album! Stunning sound engineering, virtuoso playing and a perfect example of how progressive rock can be complex bus also listenable. To me it sounds most like Dream Theater and the Liquid Tension Experiment with undertones of Yes.
Good Job!
